into total valuation of Eastern fran
chises of S550,000 against $450,090 for
clubs in the West.
BY this plan it will be seen that the
Athletics and Nets will be dropped in
the East and the indianapolis and
Cleveland in the West. In the East the
Athletics will be purchased by the Phil
adelphia club and Chris Won der Abe,
of st. Louis, and the Nets will be taken
in by New York and Brooklyn. The
Western league teams will purchase the
indianapolis and Cleveland clubs. tits
also proposed to have the East play with
the East and the West with the West
for half the season, and then have East
against West and West against East.
This is expected to prove a saw
ing in the matter of railroad and hotel ex-
penses. The league will also effect saw
lngs in other ways. 1t will save on UNI
pireS' salaries and expenses, and there
will also be grading of players sal
aries with 81 900 as the lowest limit and
$1,000 as the top notch. First-claSs
players will receive $1,000 for season,
second class $500 and so on down the
list. Pitchers and catcherS who excel
as twirlerS, backStOps and thrOwerS and
have no claims to distinction as bats
men and base runners are to be rated in
the Second-claSs. In case player of q
certain class is on the market from one
cause or another, and his services are
required by more than one club, he will
be sent to the club bidding highest for
him. He will in any case be certain of
the salary of his grade. All clubs will
make monthly returns to the proper
officers of the league, with a balance
sheet showing the amount expended, the
amount received, and pay into the gen.
eral pool or treasury the earnings of the
month. At the end of the season, or at
the annual meeting the amount in the
treasury will be divided on the basis of
earnings on the appraised value of the
franchise, with the exception. of a GER
tain percentage reserved for sinking
fund. Thus, if the net earnings of the
twelve clubs in one year amounted to
$3.50, 900 and 6 per cent. was reserved for
sinking fund, there would be left for
division S612, 500. That would be net
earning of 614 per cent.
THAT is the scheme as at present
contemplated" said the Worlds in
formant, ''Or at least as much as l can
tell at present. You see, the plan really
originated with Spalding, and the others
were brought in after he Matched it out
of his fertile brain. So far as l can
learn all clubs likely to become MEM
bers are in favQg of it, although there
may be one exception"
(Which is the exception" was asked.
''Well,' was the reply, 81 do not like
to say, because l am not certain
eff the scheme is such good one,
and the game and managers are to be
benefited, why should one object to the
plan of Organizations
NOW, l will tell you whom 1t is I
think will object 1t is the members of
the New York club. You see, the club
here would be fOrced-tO earn much more
for other clubs than they could earn for
it, and while for that very reason New
York has been appraised higher and
will receive more stock, yet believe
President Day is opposed to the
scheme"

THE BIG ONES BEATEN.
Some Surprising Results in the
National League.


DETROIT, June "a base on balls,
two by two hits, wild throws by Camel
and Dunlap and wild pitch in the first
inning to-day gave Chicago three runs
and the game. They scored again in
the fifth on hit. In the fourth the home
team scored on a nominal hit, Flint's
wild throw and two put outs, and in the
seventh double followed by wild
pitch and sacrifice, gave another. The
game was generally dull, although Han
Ion and Thompson made remarkable
running catches. The grounds were
wet and quick play was impossible.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The New
York team to-day administered to Wash
ington the worst defeat they have sus-
tanned on the home grounds this season.
Their defeat was due to the Ineffective
pitching of O'Day, who, when he sue
ceeded in putting the ball over the plate,
was batted all over the field, and for the
sake of diversity Ewing and Gore,
through terrific hits, drove the ball over
the fence. The fielding of both teams
was excellent, but the home players
were simply unable to touch Keefe until
the eighth inning, when they earned
run. The fielding of Richardson and
Gillespie and the batting of O'Rourke.

Monday night 1,2OO had left the city.
800 were at work in Chicago, and the
other 2,100 were unemployed. Accord
ing to the leaders of the Bricklayers'
union, material can be obtained from
many sources, and they claim that in a
very brief period they will be able to
get along without taking the bosses of

all. The men still idle state that they

NEEDHAM AND MYERS.
A Fight to a Finish For the Light
Weight Championship.

A Fight to Finish For the Light
Weight Championship.
The Northwestern Sportsman to-day
will have the following on well known
light and feather weights:
Articles of agreement were prepared
last night for a finish fight between
Dannie Needham, of st. Paul, and Billy
Myers, of Chicago. The fight will be at
catch-weights for $3.50 side and q guar
anteed purse of $500. 1t will occur BET
tween the 25th and 30th of the present
month, and be fought within 100 miles
OF Chicago. Needham, to get his hand
in, will run down to Eau Claire on the
nth inst. and try his luck with McQuil-
Ian, the lad whom Patsy Concannon
recently stopped at Duluth in four
rounds.
Tommy Danforth and his hacker left
st. Paul Thursday night. They go
direct to Pittsburg, where Danforth is
to meet Joe Ridge of that city. After
this is over Danforth will return to Chi
cago and go behind Needham in his fight
with Myers. This will be Needham's
first finish fight. In addition to the
stake and purse money, the fight carries
with it the lightweight championship
of the Northwest.

After Pitcher KroCk.
Milwaukee Sentinel.

milwaukee Sentlne1.
Gus Kroek, pitcher of the Oshkosh
base ball club, spent Monday and Tues
day with his parents on the South side.
To a number of his friends he said
that he had received several flat
tering offers in the way of larger sal
airy from outside clubs. Foster, of the
ST. Pauls, recommended him to the
Metropolitans, and the manager of that
club has tried hard to buy his release.
Mr.. Spalding, president of the Chicago
club, offered him $3.50 more month
than he is now getting, or 1915 per
month and expenses. He would accept
this offer if he could secure his release
from the Oshkosh club. Krock is in fine
condition, his arm not troubling him in
the least. He does not use intoxicating
drinks, and is saving his money. 1t is
thought that if he does not receive his
release from Oshkosh in week or so,
the Chicago club will buy him.

POETRY AND BASE BALL.
Rhyming "ROasts" of the Chicag
and Pittsbure Clubs.

Rhyming 'ROasts" of the Chicago
and Pittsburg Clubs.
The base ball poets of Chicago and
Pittsburg are having hard time of it.
They cannot sing praises of their teams
and are therefore led to utilize their
powers of versiication in ''roasting'
players and managers. The following
are fair samples of numerous examples
now going the rounds: ,a.
WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES.
How altogether weakly,
How miserably meekly
How pulverized completely our champions
appeari ~se
How positively shameful
How ridiculously lameful,
How discouragingly tameful game there
playing this year!
Where the trouble lies is plainrul,
Though the realiZation's painful.
lis the abstinence exactions that have put
the boys to rout.
Let them try mince pie with brandy,
And some medicated candy,
And you'll find how absolutely they'll
knock the others out.
IT'S said the outfeld's crazy:
That the intield men are lazy;
That the pitchers box is weaker than "Old
Silver at the bat.
Just bury that blue ribbon,
Give them Pilsener and bourbon,
And the boys will find their feet again upon
the pennant track.
This admission is sad one:
The cure may be bad one;
But when we had no ribbon, the pennant
came this way.
Salvation army principles
VIII not create invincibles,
And, where abstaining will not win, per-
haps 1ndulging may.
WHEN ANsoN DOESN'T PLAY.
'Tis very strange, but quite as true
That when our Baby smiles
Our club gets wolloped black and blue
In all the latest styles:
But when our Babys hopping mad
It's quite the other way
Chicago beats the Yankees bad
When Baby doesn't play.
When Baby stands upon his base,
Just after having Kicked,
Upon his Scandinavian face
Appears the legend Licked;
But when he orders out sub,
We well may hip-hooray-
Chicago has the winning club
When Baby doesn't play.
But, if our Baby's getting old,
And stiff, and cross and vain,
And if his days are nearly told,
oh. let's not complain
Let's rather think of what he was
And how he's made it pay
To hire the kids that win because
Our Baby doesn't play.

THE GREATEST DEAL YET.
A Plan by Which Base Ball Will
Become a MonopOIy.

While the patrons of base ball
throughout the country are specializing
on rumOrS concerning the OuSting of
this, that and the other club from the
league and American association. and
while base ball writer's throughout the
country formed new rumors and denied
old ones, the base ball editor of The
World has been busy sitting the wheat
from the chaff. and by hard work has
succeeded in obtaining facts and figures
concerning the deal which is actually
contemplated. This scheme, if carried
into effect, and its manipulatOrs are con-
fident of success, will make the base
ball corporation of to-day the greatest
monopoly the world has ever known.
and will rival in wealth the great Stand
ard Oil company.
1t will make one organization gigantic,
so far as money is concerned, albeit that
the best interests of the national game
will be subServed. The men at the head
OF the plan of organization are said to
be A. &. Spalding, of Chicago; f. K.
StearnS, of Detroit; A. J. Reach and
W. Sharsig, of Philadelphia; Chris Won
OF Boston. They plan to form twelve
club league, with six clubs in the East
and six in the West, and to have the
league capitalized at S1,000,0O0. The
amount is to be divided among the clubs
forming the league according to the
value OF their franchises, which will be
appraised on the basis of yearly earn
ings under present conditions This is
acknowledged to be the most equitable
way. The amount apportioned will,
however, have no bearing on the stock
of the club, which will be distinct
matter, as at present, but will be simply
representative of the value of the fran
chiSe. With this view the men having
the matter in charge have selected the
cities and clubs most valuable to them
in perfecting the plan of organization
with the following result:

the crowd was fully 1000, know that 8, 900

turns out better crowds than any of the cities
in the league, at least on Sundays.
On the day to which Mr.. Lucas refers

were known to be on the ground. This
